When I was a kid, my dad woke up one morning to find a cockroach trying on his combat boots. It didn't get any worse than that. Cockroaches used to know how to de-escalate.

DETROIT - A man trying to kill a cockroach ended up with a bullet wound in his foot Tuesday morning at a home in the 18700 block of Albion Street in Detroit.

Police said the 50-year-old man, who uses a wheelchair, threw his shoe at the cockroach in an effort to kill the bug. However, his revolver was inside the shoe. The gun fell out of the shoe, discharged and a bullet struck him in his foot.

His condition is not known at this time.
